It never hurts to ask...

So, I have some exciting news-no, I'm not pregnant again. Well, I am but I think you all know that already. Now, this may not be exciting to everybody but it is to me and that's really what it's all about, right? As you might know I'm taking online classes through UND and I'm taking two this semester, Criminology and Sport Sociology. As I was adding my points through the semester for my Criminology class, I came to the realization that I would probably have to settle for a 'B' in the class. I was ok with that until I took the final test and did much better than originally anticipated. That brought me within 3 points of an 'A', 3 points! All my work was graded and I knew that there was no way I could accept a 'B' that was only 3 points away from an 'A'. So, I emailed the professor and asked him what I could possibly do to make up those points. He told me to send him an email with my assessment of the course, what I liked and what I thought he could do better. So, I immediately did that, of course. I received an email from him this morning in which he said that he would give me the 3 points for my effort! Thank you very much. I know, I rock. I just wanted to share that with you all because I must say I was pretty proud of myself and I thought you might want to be proud of me too.

  4. Nice Brenda, and i'm sure Erin would concure, just showing you care enough to ask can be good enough.

  5. Prof DO love that shit -- we love effort! =)

    Awesome job, Brenda. I believe you're quite deserving of a night out for dinner. The only downside is that it would be with me. Let's go celebrate!

  7. Yeah, I figured I had nothing left to lose so why not try? Erin, are you kidding me?! That would be the upside, going out to dinner with you. You're crazy! I'm up for it anytime though, preferably before baby cuz I don't think I'll have much time after that!
